My name is James Goodheart, and I am part of a small group of hypnotherapists from around the world.

After your father's death, his website was not updated for over a year, and seemed to be fading into obscurity. Although we never met, his work made such an impression upon us that we felt moved to resurrect it, as a testament to him and his work, and as an ongoing resource for hypnotherapists worldwide.

No-one else seemed to be taking action on this, so we recently secured the domain name durbinhypnosis.com in an auction, and restored the full site from archives. We gained a small amount of sponsorship to do this, intending to seek more in the future to cover costs, add links to any of his work freely available on the internet, and develop the therapist and training school link directory he had started. It was also our intention to gain revenue from advertising on the site, given its long-established credibility and ranking.

We did try contacting all the email addresses shown there but they appeared to have lapsed, and so we had no other means of contact. We did consider writing to the original registration address, but did not want to cause any unnecessary distress or concern to surviving family members. However, today it was brought to my attention that you have begun the same effort, under paulguydurbin.com.

First of all let me apologise for our actions to date, and any offence this may have caused to you or your family. We meant no harm.

Secondly, I thought I should write to you immediately to ask what you would like us to do. We will be guided solely by your wishes in this matter.

We could:

1) Transfer full ownership of the domain name and all restored content to you. Or..

2) Maintain the site as it is currently, but with a front-page announcement of your new website and intention to further publish his work. Or..

3) Re-direct or sell the domain name, free of any content, to an interested party (perhaps one of our sponsors). Or..

4) Maintain the site in it's current form, and add any further content that you might wish to provide us with. Or..

5) Continue as we had planned, for now, in parallel with your work, and making any future changes of ownership or content that you would like.

Or any other change that you might consider. Although our actions were well-intentioned and legitimate, I believe that you have the moral right to decide what should now happen.

So sorry to hear about this good man passing away. God bless. I know it's a late message but I only just found it, because I had a link to him on my hypnosis site. I will now change the link from Durbinhypnosis to this new site for you.
I think that your information and website is professional and
informative therefore I’ve recently placed an announcment and link for
you placed at:
http://www.free-self-hypnosis.org/links.htm
If you wish to have any changes done or deletion please send me a message and it will be done straight away.
I would like to request a link to me in your Links section.
